WELCOME TO PIR 10/26/2012!

OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by Totopogo (Son is a GM) on September 13, 2012 at 9:02am: Still no letter (a real one) yet! Now I am feeling down. Par for the course, I guess.

Comment by gabby's mom ship09 div 346 on September 13, 2012 at 8:57am: Good Morning and God Bless to all of you. Still waiting on a letter. I have good and bad days alot of crying. I would just love to hear her voice or even hear from her in a letter. But as usual I need to remember Let go and let God. Have a blessed day everyone.

Comment by diannep on September 13, 2012 at 8:29am: Good Morning Ladies!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 13, 2012 at 7:47am: I know many of you are waiting on that first letter to arrive and I hope you get it very soon. Just be aware that those first letters can be a little sad or down. The first few weeks of bootcamp are the hardest but each week and each letter should get a little better than the last. My daughters first letter was almost impossible for me to read. I couldn't get past the first line that said "I cried myself to sleep" It still makes me tear up to think of her being there and feeling that way. But that letter was better towards the end of it and each letter got better than the last. By the end she was "loved" bootcamp and could not have been happier with her decision. So be prepared some will be feeling down and homesick and others will be doing just fine. It is all such an emotional roller coaster but we are here to help you through it.

Comment by Susana on September 13, 2012 at 3:30am: FTLW- Thanks! That's more than the recruiter did for me they had no clue what I should do when the number didn't work except wait for my husband to call again and who knows if or when that will be. I think that was the first time that recruiter had that come happen tho

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 13, 2012 at 3:23am: Susana- Here is the link to the "Contact Us" page on RTC website. It has the phone # address and email link to contact Public Affairs Office so they can help you wit the fax number.

Comment by Susana on September 13, 2012 at 3:11am: Yes please if you could give me the number I would appreciate it! And I can't wait for a letter either my husband said he had been writing me so I know I have one coming it just needs to hurry! Lol

Comment by ZeeKittiKat Ship2Div950 on September 13, 2012 at 2:56am: Susana do u still need the right fax number?? I had to call public affairs to get the right fax number... I meant to send my husband with the documents he called me for but forgot to in the haste of everything. When my husband called for the docs was the last time I have heard from him but I'm hopeful that a letter will arrived any day now.

Comment by Susana on September 13, 2012 at 2:04am: Did everyone from ship 2 div 950 need paperwork sent over? Seems like it from what I'm reading and I still haven't gotten the right fax number -_- my husband called last Wednesday too that's how I got his info but I haven't received any letters including the form letter

Comment by ZeeKittiKat Ship2Div950 on September 13, 2012 at 1:24am: I am still waiting on my first letter but hearing that others from this PIR group are getting theirs give me hope that it will be any day now!!!
